Just buy your device with an AMEX and they cover your for pretty much everything in regards to your purchase up to the price you paid for your device. That's for an additional year out side of the manufacturer's warranty. But if you break it and Apple replaces/fixes your phone and charge your for it. You just file a claim and get back that money and you have up to the total cost to recover from them if needed.

Screw these paid insurance policies from stores and manufacturers. All rip offs.

VISA also provides double manufacturer’s repair warranty. However, between AMEX and VISA, which one is better? Or they are all the same?

That I'm not sure of. But Amex has been good to me in regards to repairs so I'll have to favor Amex. I've never filed a claim with Visa.

Apple Looks to Boost AppleCare+ Membership With New 60-Day Purchase Window

Or you can call up your home or auto insurance and ask if they provide Personal Article Policy which is usually a lot less that Apple Care. I was quoted $69/year and no deductible from my StateFarm agent.
